3" and 33's can be a sweet set up. Depends on what you want to ride on as far as trails though.

3.5" RE springs
Long *** brake lines
Bilstein shocks
Clayton y link

Shackle relocators
3" BDS leaf packs
Bilstein shocks

33x12.5 or 10.5's will be fun. I'm coming back around on my KM2's... MTZ's and Cooper STT's seem to do good with everyone that rides with me.

I want some more Trxus' MT's

 

Trying to get into rocks and tougher trails, since i mostly wheel mildish stuff right now. All the good trails are 2+ hours away. ALSO: Never, EVER going in mud again... I learned from my mistakes with the last two XJ's. Which is why I bought this one, to have a clean slate.

I'm leaking towards 3" and 33's for cost effectiveness, and since ill be on stock gears until february; then use the extra cash to build bumpers and sliders... Probably gonna go with KM2s since they have such great road manners. I still drive this thing every day to the airport and back.

 

I'd LOVE to have this kit, but it's way out of my budget lol

At 3.5" you'll be fine on short arms and could probably run 10" travel shocks.

Yeah it's a damn pain to ride anywhere in GA. Choccolocco and Morris are like an hour from me. Gulches is a really fun park, I'm doing the night ride right now lol.

Adventure should be fun whenever I get to go.

Haven't been to durhamtown yet but it looks ok.

 

I am running 3.5" RE coils and leafs with Teraflex adjustable upper and Lower shortarms long *** brakelines from crown , and 10" travel Bilstein5100's and 33's it works very well

 

You have one of my favorite XJ's... not too crazy. Very nice setup.

 

^ Nice


if BDS makes 3in springs i would go with them... i love soft springs... i just picked up 6.5in BDS springs in place of my 4.5in springs and i still sit the same height lol... course i added a bumper and winch so... was what i hoped for... Sliders a must if your keeping leafs though i think... i would but this spring im changing everything and no more rear leafs...

 

Not even gonna lie, I was considering this kit, only because I can get a great deal on RC **** since my dad is a distributor:

with a double shear track bar, SRB's, ZJ tie rod, and dakota/silverado brake lines.

I know I don't "need" all that ****, but I'd rather have it. Just because lol.

 

Rc coils sagged like a *****. We're super soft and I guess I just beat them bad...

Control arms bushings are also horrible. If I were still wheeling short arms they would be trashed every ride

 

I beat up my Rc **** and never had an issue except for my leaf spring bushings.

 

Ok, so RE 3.5" leafs/coils, double shear track bar, SRB's, Some kind of adjustable LCAs, extended bumpstops, ZJ tie rod, extended brake lines, and bilstein 5100s.

Subject to change. How's that sound?

 

Sounds good.

Tom, have your RE springs sagged?

My 4.5" ones have settled down a lot. My bumper isn't that heavy but I guess the winch still is.

Aaron, different wheeling styles I think

 

Seeing you actually went wheeling and I just played with a **** ton of mud lol. That will change soon.

 

Time to start adding up things and saving. After all that I'll be focusing on fabbing up some high clearance bumpers, and some sliders along with other armor. Doing my desert tan paint job when it warms back up in the spring.

 

Dan had the RC long arms and tore the bushing up like crazy also... i have RC long arms but aint put them to anything yet... only gonna get one real ride on them probly...
